I don't have a lot of time for this project but I figure a small investment by me will provide lots of useful info to the people who know what they're doing.

I pulled the drain plug on both tanks and drained a sample into a mason jar.

There was no debris, no gunk and no moisture. Just clean, amber colored gas with only a slight turpentine smell.

Given the rate of flow I suspect there might be a lot of gas in there.

I put the mason jar to the marine fuel pump and it move fuels with gusto.

Then I reversed the hoses in an attempt to get the pump to prime the lines back to the tank.

That revealed a leak in the hose at an inline filter just forward of the tank.

Should i drain the tanks?

What do i need to know about Jacking it up?
